Working with factors and categorical variables. Use forcats in R programming to change factor levels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- R programming for beginners just got easier. If you're working with categorical variables or factors (as they are called in R) then you'll love the forcats package. Forcats lets you change factor levels in a number of exciting ways. If you are learning R programming, then you'll find this tremendously useful for anything related to categorical variables - be it data visualization, working with tables, doing a chi-squared test and more.

Fabulous teacher!!! Could you please show us how to add the numbers to the bar charts?
THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
super useful in visualization!!
Glad to hear that!
Thanks. This is great. But I was not able to make it work for my case. I have a stacked barplot with 3 categories (A,B,C) for each X and want to order by decreasing % of A regardless the other 2 values. Also, can you filter and sort the x factor in a certaing way and then save it/keep this way and use for the unfiltered data. Thanks a lot. Awesome content.
Really helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Thank you for your feedback!
Learned a lot thanks
when you use 'mutate(.)' (at minute: 20:17), does the original data change accordingly? so on the gss_cat %>% View() we will be seeing column 'partyid' in 4 categories instead of so many (i think about 10 categories)?
The following command doesn't work for me
gss_cat %>%
select(race) %>%
table()
it says "Error in select(., race) : unused argument (race)"
However, changing it to the next command solve the problem, and I get the same output as in your video:
gss_cat %>%
pull(race) %>%
table()
I need to change my text-based factors into numerical values and am having a hard time finding how to do this. Could someone give me some guidance to a video or blog? I need this in order to run some correlations and regressions.
¡Thanks this content expand the universe of r !
Thanks for watching and you are welcome!
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
This si helpful. Thanks so much. Please any videos on how to average scores on a multi-item scale? Is there anyway of reaching you for further questions? Thanks.
I was thinking the same. I guess not 😂
Very much explained.goood

Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
How could you get the exact number of a bar in these charts? What i mean is, you got the count at the y axis and you see approximately what the count is. Let’s say it is between 15.000 and 10.000 but you cannot tell the exact number. Is there any function to show either the exact number of the bar in/on the bar itself or to make the y axis with more detail so it is shown like this: 15.000 , 14.900, 14.800 …..
Make a playlist regarding geo-density in mapping
Great suggestion! Thanks
I now get forcats
Great!
I am getting you Loud and clear here in afrika place called kenya .world have become a small village really
I've been to Kenya - what a lovely country. Say hello to your fellow countrymen for me please

Welcome. I will greet all for you.Your teaching will go a long way if u didn't know.welcome
I have a small query can you help me with that. Please
I have seen all you videos and always recommend you, will be thankful if you all me get out of this issue
Don't quite get the difference between select (race) and pull (race)
@Jacky Mo, He actually explained it, using SELECT will extract the race column as a DATA.FRAME, whereas using PULL will extract it as a FACTOR type which is the desired outcome in this case.
@@souhaibsebbane5623 thanks. so we need to memorise which function takes data.frame which takes factor. Are there any tips on that?
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
